YGArts
YGArts is our printing and publishing company working
alongside Yarm Gallery offering high quality Photo
Restoration and Photographic Printing, Giclée
Fine Art Printing and Publishing and is a result
of a keen amateur and then professional interest
in photography, and developing and printing images
in a darkroom over many years.
The advent of digital photography and giclee printing
now enable these processes to be achieved using
computers, scanners and digital cameras. As with
darkroom photographic processing, the human touch
is critical in several phases of the printing process.
The equipment requires regular calibration to ensure
consistent colour matching. Scanned images require
colour correction, which demands an experienced
eye and touch in making the proper adjustments for
tone, contrast, sharpness and other corrections
and a practiced eye is needed to match the computer
image for the final print to the original.
The last step; Printing, finalising the process,
using high quality paper and light fast Ultrachrome
inks to ensure that the final print is a faithful
reproduction of the original and each subsequent
print in the edition is the same consistent high
quality.
